5. Usability Principle
“The IT industry has tried to build reusable code or components by
using object-oriented methods. But we have not been particularly
successful to date. We do use O-O to build reusable components for
screen design and other systems components. But we have not been
very successful using O-O methods to identify many reusable
activities and processes within an enterprise. Enterprise reusability is
only achieved effectively by taking an enterprise-wide approach: not
in detail across the enterprise, but broadly to encompass the whole
enterprise.”
